The Switcbmen's Aid Association OF North
America continued it's sessions yesterday, de-
voting the fore part of the day to the further
revision of the BY laws and constitution One
question which has given the delegates a good
deal of anxiety is the amount of benefit paid
to member in case of total disability, or to his
heirs in case of death. Quite a number of the
delegates favored making it 81, 900. Others
thought that while the association was so young,
5000 the amount of benefit last year, was suhi-
Gent, but after thorough discussion Of the
matter. $500 was agreed upon as compromise.

to get nome, the election OF

friend, A. A. ST. CLAIR. this week secured letters
patent a car brake, which. in the opinion Of
the master mechanics of several roads and the

The brake is operated from the draw-bar, to
which a frame is attached holding shaft
which the brake chains wind. Mounted on this
shaft is friction wheel, which. when the en-
gneer so desires, can be made to come in contact
with the axle, and thus roll and wind up the
brake chain. L. is constructed that it will not
set the brake when backing in the side-track, nor
retard the speed of the train when making run
from one hill for another, but regulates the
speed that there will be no pins jumping out
nor breaking in two The brake will operate on
any train, the ordinary coupling making the
connection, and il can be attached to the draw

A Brief Glimpse OF One Of the Pc
culial Features OF Moham-
modfsm.


One Of the conditions upon which
woman enters the harem is that SHE
give up all family ties and connec
lions with the outside world. While
polygamy is permitted in Turkey, MOI
more than five per cent. of his Maj
esty's Moslem subjects have harems
General Wallace depicted in q humor
Gus vein the curiosity OF American
women to visit the hare ms. They al
ways have great desire to see the
poor creatures at home. and to devise
some means to raise them from their
degraded condition. After visit many
of these ladies change their minds
about the fearful fate Of the Turkish
women. The Turkish ladies assemble
in common reception room richly
furnished They are attended by o
throng OF slaves, white and black. who
do their every bidding. The mistresses
of these harems wear costumes which
the speaker, after apologizing for his
deficiency on the subject of feminine
apparel, undertook to describe. Their
clothing is of the richest material. o.
the general intelligence OF these women
their American sisters who have seen
them do not speak in fiattcring terms.
The conversation between the Turkish
women and their visitors nearly always
runs about this way.

of the harem are prisoners. This 10
merely delusion. Every Turkish
woman has her own quarters and her
own slaves to wait upon her. She
can take ride whenever she wishes,
and she wears what she pleases with.
out interference. The Turkish head.
dress is. with due Difference to the
styles of Paris and New York. the
most becoming of any in the world. 1t
makes the homeliest women handsome
and the handsome angelic. The
Turkish women are, next to our own
American women. the most beautiful !
have ever seen. Glimpses of them
can be caught on Fridays, the Turkish
Sunday, or from their Garages. They
do their own shopping. 1t Is theirs to
buy as they please and their husbands
to pay for it 1t is incorrect to say
that there IL no home-life among the
Turks. Laying aside the tie Of hus-
band and wife. there remains that al
most as dear parent and child. The
residents OF the harem, which means q
sncred or secret place. are passionatoly
devoted to their children. upon whom
they can shower all the tenderness of q
woman's nature. From Lecture bg
